Disappearing sign makes reappearance

The Ponderosa subdivision sign is no longer roaming the range.
The heavy, wooden sign, which has been a landmark along Bluff Road for several decades, had been missing since July.
It returned Saturday, according to resident Sydney Woodlee, who originally collected the money for the sign from her neighbors about 40 years ago.
“My husband went out about 7 or 8 Saturday morning,” she said. “He called and said, ‘Guess what?’”
Vandals took the sign once before and returned it. No one seems to know where it goes.
